ruskitseller Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 (edited) Well Pro have made some great budget rifs recently - this looks interesting! I have owned them (and still own the PPK 20) and have been impressed by the build quality and stock internals.

So maybe its possible to make it do 2 round? I think the real version is one of the first new rifles to not have been designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov so apparently that is one of the reasons things are reported to not be going so well with this model. They do look very cool though which as we all know is the most important thing for us airsofters haha. 🤣 What I can say (and I swear I do not work for Well Pro) is that I had one of their polymer AEG versions and it was fantastic for the price. I sold it to a chap on here, I wonder how it is going? 🤔 Edited December 5 by ruskitseller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantKiwi Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 So talking to asian market friends, whilst this is theoretically TM AKM system, it's only going to be partially compatible - so unless its really, really cheap, probably going to be a halo item.

hitmanNo2 Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 They're $500.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskitseller Posted December 5 Author Share Posted December 5 https://airsoft.tiger111hk.com/p54435/WELL-Pro-AK-12/23-GBB-Rifle/product_info.html Yes they are here for $498 which is a fair old whack. I think because it is early days, costs do tend to be higher so maybe it will go down eventually. I think they are a rebrand of just "Well"? What I do know though is that they have a Well Pro rep who is very accessible and approachable. He responds directly to messages and the group canvasses for ideas from its fans.

It's the same company, they've just retooled from WE clones to TM clones. But at $500, you're well into just buy the TM territory.

One has to question the production costs that went into this or do they know that despite the cost, people will buy it anyway...the thing is, Well Pro are well in the budget zone and will find it very hard to move above that.

Though occurs TM guns are not expensive they just get jacked up because they are grey imports so are they saying these Chinese/Taiwanese guns cost way more to produce than TM or are they just ting the piss. i know which one my money is on.

ruskitseller Posted December 6 Author Share Posted December 6 (edited) I think they are riding the price that it is the first GBB AK12...that I know of Still...$500 is too rich for me! Edited December 6 by ruskitseller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
